We just took our best selling bangle to new heights and are bringing you the gold. Our fine silver hand-wrought bangles are now available in 24K gold satin vermeil. That means we added layers and layers of 24K gold on top of the already exquisite .999 silver. So, if you have two or three of our bangles, it’s time to add gold to your stack. Quantities and sizes are currently limited.

Yep, that’s where you’ll find us, same space as 2018, S50, along Old Santa Fe Trail on the East side of the plaza. SO many new items to share and we’d love to see your smiling faces.

The weather in Santa Fe is absolutely amazing this year. It still feels a little like spring, so bring an extra layer for a cool morning stroll through the Challenge New Mexico show. And a hat and some sunscreen for all that magnificent sunshine.

Saturday, June 8 and Sunday, June 9 from 9am to 5pm. Be there on the square!

Zircon is an historical gemstone used for thousands of years. Not the synthetic diamond you think of (that’s a man-made cubic zirconia), but a true gem thats color diversity is caused by traces of certain impurities.

You’d think something so small (2mm) wouldn’t be noticed, but let us assure you, these mighty “micro-stones” are packed with shine and brilliance. Set your neck on fire with one of these beauties. We suspect our inventory will remain limited since their size makes them incredibly difficult to string.

As we were capturing that last shot, we noticed the sunset and turned around to capture the next shot.

https://santafesisters.com/2019/03/18/grab-the-brass-ring/#respondMon, 18 Mar 2019 19:49:20 +0000http://santafesisters.com/?p=1007Thank you to one of our designers, Geri, for taking these rings of brass or silver or gold-fill or… and running with them. She has the most amazing skills at taking a treasure chest full of stones and findings from over the years and spinning them into unique designs.

As we watch the end of the college basketball tournaments and prepare for March Madness Mode, we take inventory of our green stones. More than emeralds and turquoise, we have quite a selection and plan to work with these raw materials to complete our spring line. Give us a shout anytime you are in Santa Fe… text, call, email, carrier pigeon, whatever it takes. We’d love to share what we have up our sleeves.

Just a taste of the green options we have in our extensive stone inventory

Or any day for that matter. Our creation of pink pearls with 24 kt gold vermeil is sure to be a show stopper.

Individual chokers that adjust from 14″ to 16-1/2″. Limited quantities of these beauties.

So, now we need to justify our absence and let you know what’s up our sleeves.

After we wrapped up the trunk show in Santa Fe, we took an extended trip to Morocco, Spain and Portugal (for inspiration, of course). Our designs were re-invigorated by the taste, sight, touch, smell, and sounds of foreign cultures, from…

the texture of the Majorelle Gardens;

to blue, blue Chefchaouen, a source for unique jewelry findings;

to Gaudi’s creations;

to the architecture of Cordoba;

to the secret spaces of Alhambra;

to the streets of Portugal;

to the taste of pasteis.

Our next post promises to validate how our designs are awakened by our travels.

We’ve moved out of our space at the Plaza Galeria, and that means it’s time to finish those special orders and get back to the bench to design new items to close out the holiday season and begin 2019. And maybe take a walk in the arroyo to watch the chamisa change colors. So many design ideas are making our heads spin. We’ll be in touch with those of you who asked to hear from us and look forward to seeing you at our upcoming trunk shows.
